Manually open the moving disc guard and hold it in the open position whilst
moving the spring loaded catch to the right. Rotate
the abrasive disc until you can see a hole in the
inner mounting flange. Align this hole with the
sprung guard catch and slide the catch over until it
is fully inserted into the hole. (See Fig.8). Keep
finger pressure on the catch and slowly lower the
guard until it rests on the catch pin. Let go of the
guard before letting go of the catch.
